Full-year 2024 look demonstrates continued momentum for Airbus’ widebody orderbook, complementing its position in the single-aisle market.

Boeing delivered less than half the number of commercial aircraft to customers than its European rival in 2024, The American aerospace giant reported on Tuesday that it supplied 348 jetliners during the year.

Airbus (AIR) delivered more than twice as many commercial planes as rival Boeing (BA) in 2024, as the latter struggled amid a flurry of controversies and technical issues.

Boeing must turn its fortunes around this year to avoid falling further behind Airbus, which plans a production increase as it fixes its supply chain.

Deliveries of new Boeing jets bounced back in December after a crippling labor strike that slowed production last fall, but the company's annual deliveries dropped in 2024 to the lowest level since the COVID-19 pandemic.
